All was quiet for a few minutes, then Madam Zucca spoke softly: Madam is going to see some of her friends during her travels. She is much impressed by what she has been told, but Madam Zucca's crystal does not show what is not true. You shall soon, see. Good-day, Madam. . ANNA REA WEBSTER. Knowledge ls Knowledge For A' That fWith Apologies to Burnrj Is there for lack of knowledge That hings his head an' a' that? The ignorant one we pass him by- We dare be dumb for a' that! For a' that, an' a' that, Our hate of lessons, an, ay thatg The goal for which we all aim Requires knowledge for a' that. What tho' on hard lessons we dig, English, civics an' a' that, ' After we're through them We feel rather big, 'Cause we've learned something fora' that. For a' that, an' a' that, After the hard work an' a' that, We enjoy our pleasures much more- 'Cause we've accomplished something for a' that. You've seen young lads in the town Who are college boys an' a' thatg Theylve flunked out in the roun', Just failures for a' that. For a' that an' a' that, Their lack of pride an' a' that, The boys of sense and ambitious mind, They profit by a' that. Then let us not mope when we should hope To have good lessons an' a' that, And we're sure to Win out in the bout From those fussy ones an' a' that, For a' that, an' a' that, Mark my word for a' that, That those who study diligently Will enjoy life for a' that.

Sealed and delivered in the presence of: ANNA REA WEBSTER. RALPH REITHNER. ANNIE LAURIE LAIRD. A Request Please, Mr. Austin, may I ask, How to finish this Algebra task? I find it is quite hardtodayg Indeed, so hard I cannot say, just what to do with X and Y , No matter, sir, how much I try. It appears to me that X is Z , Yet why it is I cannot seeg For Y is somehow in the Way, And AU and B plus C delay My efforts to complete the work, Which, seemingly, I wish to shirk.
